All About Combustidoll, Fire & Energy Blaster

In my return to City of Heroes, I took a break from leveling up Tankers and played my Fire/Energy Blaster instead. Her name is Combustidoll and as her name states, she is a little exploding robotic doll, on the smallest side of the height slider.

Her profile reads:

Forget Barbie! Combustidoll can fly, beat stuff up, and shoot scorching hot flames from her hands! Get your very own super heroine doll for $19.99! Makes a great gift for that special child in your life! 

Warning: May unexpectedly explode from touching. Please keep away from children.

I am having a blast (pun intended!) playing her. Yes, playing as a blaster gives you paper thin defenses and you die a whole heck of a lot, but playing as a Fire/Energy Blaster allows me to keep up the frantic pace that I am so used to when I play as a tanker. Getting Inferno and one shot killing a whole bunch of baddies is also a plus.

99% of the time, I am on teams, otherwise, I do not play Combustidoll.

She's currently level 48 right now and fully (non-purpled) IO'ed. I tend to build the toon via Mid's Hero Builder and buy the appropriate IOs and recipes while the character is being leveled. Once they hit level 47, I slot up the toon with my ready to go IOs and the game play is like night and day.

I have yet to decide whether or not to fully IO her with purples, though I highly doubt that would happen since I don't think I will play her all that much once she hits level 50.

Here is her build:

I didn't focus on any one particular enhancement bonus, I just wanted to slot Combustidoll up given my budget of 100 million influence (not including all of the IOs and salvage I've been saving up from normal play). You'll see below that I ended up getting a 46.3% recharge and 80% accuracy bonus from the enhancements which is nice.

I am actually a few hundred merits away from fully having all the IOs.
